That lucky Steve Carell has scored himself a gorgeous, French
girlfriend, at least for as long as he's on the set of Dan in
Real Life. According to Variety, Juliette
Binoche has signed on to co-star with everyone's favorite dork in the film, in which Carell plays a widower with
three daughters and an advice column. As happens to everyone who's ever written advice in a movie, he finds that his
techniques don't work when he falls in love with his brother's girlfriend (that's Binoche).

Because even
being an oil baron is cheaper in Canada, the people at 20th Century Fox are at least considered shooting their big-screen
version of Dallas
in Toronto. For obvious reasons, the city of Dallas has some issues with this idea, and is
both passing (as-yet unfunded) economic incentives for the production and wearing tshirts that read "Shoot JR in
Texas." Not overly concerned about authenticity, Calgary ("East of here, we have prairies all over the
place"), Louisiana, and Florida have also thrown their hats into the Dallas ring. The movie is due to
start filming this fall - my money's on Toronto.
